PREFACE. 



In placing this work before the profession, the author 
wishes it to be understood that it is not with any desire to 
have such condensed work supersede the study and use of the 
more complete Materia Medica; nor is it on account of any 
supposed incorrectness or unreliability of the original works 
of Hahnemann, for these, after nearly three-fourths of a cen- 
tury of daily searching scrutiny, must be accepted as bearing 
the imprint of being wrought by a master mind — almost 
intuitive perception having guided in the work. 

The real object in preparing this work has been to give 
in a condensed form, to the student of Homoeopathy, such 
absolutely necessary material as would enable him, in a com- 
paratively short time, to gain knowledge of such important 
leading symptoms and conditions as are characteristic of each 
remedy — knowledge which is imperatively necessary for 
•everyday practice. The large and more complete works pre- 
sent by their size, if by nought else, great obstacles to the 
rapid acquirement of a practical knowledge of the genius of 
each remedy. In order to overcome this, efforts have been 
made in the past to condense the material of the larger works. 
Clinical experience only can verify symptoms obtained 
through provings; this we are gaining daily, and profiting 

(V) 



PREFACE. vi 

thereby. Year by year we have been enabled, through such 
experience, to separate wheat from tares. We have now 
garnered at least a fair percentage of good wheat — and the 
harvest season is not yet over. 

The material for this work has been culled from the 
manuscript and other material collected for a much larger 
work on verified and important symptoms, viz., "Guiding 
Symptoms," now in process of publication, on which many 
years of careful research have been bestowed. 

Not all of our remedies are herein given, inasmuch as this 
work is intended for a text-book, a manual, not a complete 
Materia Medica ; and though it was desirable to condense, it 
was also necessary to give the really useful symptoms suffi- 
ciently complete to make up the picture of each remedy so 
as to be practically useful, thus making it impossible to give 
more remedies, without so increasing the bulk as to render 
the book unsuited to its purpose. 

Regarding the arrangement of symptoms, it will be found 
to correspond to that used in the "Analytical Therapeutics;'^ 
for full explanation, see introduction to the same. 

The symptoms of each remedy are divided into forty-eight 
chapters — thus, ^ Mind and disposition ; this contains all mental 
states. ^Sensorium, embracing over-sensitiveness and irrita- 
bility of brain and senses ; vertigo ; dullness, etc. ^ Inner head, 
pains, etc. ^ Outer head, symptoms of bones, periosteum, skin, 
and hair ; also motions and positions of head. '' Sight and 
eyes. ^ Hearing and ears. '' Smell and nose. - Face, includ- 
ing expression, etc. ^ Lower jaw, outer mouth, chin, and sub- 



vii PREFACE'. 

maxillary glands. ^'^ Teeth and gums. ^^ Taste, speech and 
tongue. ^^ Inner mouth. ^^ Palate and throat. ^* Desire for 
food and drink. ^'' Effects ol eating and drinking. ^^ Gastric 
symptoms. ^" Epigastric region. ^^ Hypochondria. ^^ Abdo- 
men. ^'^ Rectum and anus, including emission of flatus, stools, 
hemorrhoids. "^^ Urinary organs and urine. ^^ Male functions 
and organs. ^^ Female organs. ^^ Pregnancy and parturition, 
including mammae ; also infants at the breast. ^^ Voice and 
larynx. ^^ Respiration. "^ Cough. ^^ Inner ch^st and lungs. 
^^ Heart and circulation. '^^ Outer chest. ^^ Neck and back. 
^^ Upper limbs. '^^ Lower limbs. '^^ All the limbs. '^'^ Rest, 
motion and position ; modalities will be indexed so as to refer 
to chapter number. ^^' Nerves ; this chapter embraces symp- 
toms pertaining more especially to the nervous system ; trem- 
bling, spasms, weakness, lameness or paralysis. ^^ Sleep and 
dreams. '"^^ Times of day, indexed. '^^ Temperature and 
weather, indexed. ^^ Chill, fever and sweat. ^^ Attacks and 
periodicity, indexed. ^^ Sides and relation to space, indexed. 
"^^ Sensations ; predominating feelings. ^^ Tissues — in a work 
of this character but little need be said on this subject. In the 
''Guiding Symptoms" more prominence is given thereto. 
"^■^ Passive motion, contact, injuries, etc. **^Skin. ^''Stages of 
life, constitution, diathesis, dyscrasia. ^'^ Relationship with 
other drugs. For convenience and to save space, some ot 
these headings have been shortened throughout the work. 

The I corresponding to the third degree of distinction in 
Boenninghausen's Repertory, has here more significance than 
in the " Guiding Symptoms ;" there it stands before symptoms

verified by cures, here it marks in most instances characteristic 
symptoms. 

The Greek letter (theta), is occasionally used (not as 
extensively as in the Guiding Symptoms) before the patho- 
logical or physiological state to which the symptom refers. 

Every care has been bestowed that this might prove a reli- 
able manual for the use of students, particularly the profession. 

The thanks of the author are due to Dr. C. G. Raue, for his 
careful and systematic arrangement of the mind symptoms ; to 
Drs. Korndcerfer and Farrington, for their assistance on the 
first edition, and to Drs. Knerr and Mohr, for assistance on the 
second ; also to those friends who have kindly sent in correc- 
tions and additions.

PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION. 



In the preparation of this, the third edition of Hering's 
Condensed Materia Medica, additions have been made 
and a few typographical errors corrected, but in justice to the 
lamented author, no alterations have been made in the sub- 
stance of the text as he left it. * 

More than twenty new remedies, arranged after the plan of 
the book, are given in full; and over forty partially proved 
drugs, with brief but distinctive indications, are added to the 
sections on '* Relationship." These latter are arranged and 
classified in alphabetical order on page xviii. 

Besides all this, about six hundred choice and well-attested 
symptoms have been incorporated in their proper places in the 
text. All the late works have been drawn upon for the 
new material, and even private sources have been unsparingly 
taxed ; but still, great caution has been used in making selec- 
tions. The plans and purposes of the book demand clinical 
as well as pathogenetic symptoms. But of the former sort 
only those have been employed which agree with the prov- 
ings, and which show every evidence of genuineness. Such 
discrimination demands the exercise of one's best judgment, 
and the expenditure of much time. But it is believed the 

benefits to be derived far outweigh the trouble. The book is 

(ix)

now offered to the profession and to students, not as a rival of 
other works, but as a rich treasury full of information com- 
mon to Homoeopathic literature, and also of gleanings from the 
vast collection which Dr. Hering made during a busy half- 
century of medical study and labor.

Publishers' Preface to Fourth Edition, 



The third edition of Hering's Condensed Materia 
Medica being exhausted the question of a fourth edition 
confronted the publishers. After due consideration it was 
determined to let the work of those masters in Homoeopathy, 
Hering and Farrington, remain as they left it. Homoeopathy 
is not a shifting changing science. This book is a true ex- 
ponent of Homoeopathy, and while it might be enlarged by 
the addition of new remedies it could not be improved upon in 
its sphere — A Condensed Materia Medica. So the old work 
is again brought out, unchanged. It is a book culled by 
Hering from the manuscript of his ten volume Guiding 
Symptoms, and it contains the cream of that large work. As 
Hering says: "Clinical experience only can verify symptoms 
obtained through provings;" and further: "We have now 
garnered at least a fair percentage of good wheat." That 
"good wheat" is to be found in this volume — a volume that,, 
perhaps, contains fewer unverified symptoms than any other 
published ; indeed it has been said that every symptom in this 
book has been verified at the bedside. Be that as it may, the 
Hering'S Condensed Materia Medica is undoubtedly one 
of the most helpful books to the physician ever published.

Atropine is said to be antagonistic to Muscarine^ but they 
both, when topically used, dilate the pupil. 

Muscarine is very similar to Pilocarpine (jaborandi), since 
both cause arrest of heart's action ; profuse sweat ; sali- 
vation, lachrymation ; contracted pupils, etc. Muscarine 
acts more on the lachrymal glands, less on sweat and 
salivary glands ; Pilocarpine causes more urging to uri- 
nate. Muscarine^ given internally, contracts the pupil 
more than Pilocarpine ; used topically, only the former 
dilates the pupil. Gelsejn. is here similar to Muscarine.

theria. Naja has more nervous phenomena. Laches. 
has skin cold and clammy, rather than cold and dry ;
